Michael Nicholls 'Solarman'
I began visually observing the night sky in 1976. I am interested in all objects in the sky especially solar system objects, deep space and the Sun. I began astrophotography in 1996 when I joined Mexborough And Swinton Astronomical Society. |

Sue Cartwright
I am a senior lecturer in the Particle Astrophysics group of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. My main research field at present is the ANTARES neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea, which aims to look for neutrinos from astrophysical sources and from the annihilation of dark matter trapped in the core of the Sun. I am heavily involved with our Outreach and Public Understanding of Science activities. I run the Sheffield contribution to the National Particle Physics Masterclass and regularly give talks at local astronomical societies. |
Starlight Nights
A Journey Through the Night Sky with Brian Jones
At around the age of five I was allowed to look through my father’s binoculars for the first time and I happened to point them at the stars. This started me off on my journey of discovery of the night sky and all things relating to it. I attended the local junior school, followed by five years (1964-1969) at Bradford Grammar School before leaving to commence a career as an engineering technician. Those binoculars stood me in good stead throughout (indeed, I still have them) until after I left school, started work and purchased my first telescope at the age of seventeen. |
Space Lessons For Kids
Our home, the planet Earth, may seem pretty big, but it is just one planet of many others that make up the universe. The universe includes stars, meteorites, asteroids, and much more. Although scientists have learned a lot about space beyond Earth, there are still many things that remain a mystery. How big is the universe? Is there life on other planets? These are just some of the unanswered questions about space. As our technology becomes more advanced, we are finding more and more of these answers. |
